Ben Meiselas on Jared and Ivanka's attempt to take over an uninhabited island in Albania: It used to be a closed off military area under the old communist government. It has kind of a very creepy underground tunnel system... No wonder the Epstein class wants to build out on this island.
Pretty odd that this is the headline yet the fact I spent the majority of the speech talking about turning anger into hope and positive solutions which is pushed into the article instead. It's almost like there's an agenda here....

We (404 Media) sued ICE because it failed to release public documents about its spyware. Now some docs are coming out but they're massively redacted. We are continuing to fight in court & are hopeful we'll get more: www.404media.co/we-sued-ice-...

If a company has shit founders who create toxic environments then why do we believe the next venture they back will be any better?
Billionaires shouldn't exist, but I do get tremendous enjoyment imagining how to spend a vast, multi-billion dollar fortune. Artist grants. Funding progressive candidates. Green energy. Scholarships. Start my own university. Start my own newspaper. Eliminate some disease. Buy the Star Trek franchise
Guess whose birthday it is? A little kitten nobody wanted was born a year ago today (approximately.)

you left out the crucial parts: him giving the bot a girl name and "her" telling him what an exceptionally clever boi he is Dickie Dawkins is a ridiculous old twatpuffin who wants a woman to fawn over him and agree with everything he says
Richard Dawkins wants to believe Claudia has consciousness because it’s the perfect toy for his perversions. Smart people can be dumb as well as pervs sometimes.

“The most wealthy and powerful tech CEOs are still staying silent as ICE floods America’s streets, but now some researchers and engineers working for them have chosen to break rank.” Great @laurengoode.bsky.social story:
Tech Workers Are Condemning ICE Even as Their CEOs Stay Quiet

Modern career advice: Just follow your passion. And be constantly networking. And have a side hustle. And another. And have experience. And be confident. And show humility. And read voraciously. And build your brand. And take time for yourself. And don’t ever use an em dash.
Real leaders respect weekends. We value rest. We believe in boundaries. There’s no pressure to be online after hours. That’s why we keep standup short on weekends. #Startups
Weekends are your edge. While others rest, you build. No distractions. No meetings. Pure execution. By Sunday night, you’ll be three days ahead of the rest. And four years behind on your personal relationships. #Startups
